So, inclusive practise will mean ensuring that learners from all backgrounds can access learning ( all are included) – so this takes into consideration aspects of diversity including socio-economic background, race, religion, gender, linguistic background (do they have English as an Additional Language (EAL), for example). How do teachers ensure all can access learning? For example, if there is an EAL child present, the teacher will grade her language. For different ability levels, the teacher will differentiate activities so all children are sufficiently challenged. In terms of race, class projects go beyond white British topics – the class may study black history or Asian art, dependent on who is in the class. All of this allows children to feel equal within the classroom – no child is better than any other. The teacher will value all contributions regardless of religion, ability etc so no child feels out of place. In terms of diversity, if the teacher is inclusive and values diversity in the ways mentioned above, this promotes an appreciation of diversity in others. Children appreciate that people are different and unique and enjoy learning about different cultures. Inclusive practice promotes a child’s right to access to equal opportunities. By ensuring that this happens promotes diversity

SHC 34 - How duty of care contributes to the safeguarding or protection of individuals.
Duty of care is the “fundamental obligation that anyone working in child care, whatever the type of service and whatever their role, is to keep children safe”. Babies and under three are almost dependent on adults to care for them in ways that protect them from harm- physical or psychological. In my work with young children is important to safeguard children in various ways such as: Risk Assessments –...
